How would have implemented housing in XIV?

[Vhailor]

Just as the title says, what are some ways that you all could have seen housing implemented?

For me, aside from the usual instance housing, I think instanced plots with the ability to purchase the size of land and house you would want, would have been a good way to go about it. This way, all players have a fair chance at not only getting a house, but also it gives everyone a fair shot the size house they want.

So what about you all? What are some interesting ways housing could have been added?

Instanced plots with a fixed price for each size tier. To be sure, there is something nice about having 'neighborhoods' to wander around it, but in my estimation, it simply hasn't been worth the cost. There are also significant architectural limits imposed by such a system; with fully instanced plots, SE could easily have allowed for larger outdoor areas or housing addition options alongside the base packages. The instanced house could also be shared more easily across one's entire account; any alt within the same data centre could probably access it.
